Bug#369664: Graphical DebianInstaller does not save passwords

["B. Janssen" <b.janssen@gmx.net>]

Package: DebianInstaller
Version: Etch

Sorry for any confusion, the homepage of the DebianInstaller is not very 
clear how and where to send bugreports for the DebianInstaller. If the 
human maintainer of the bugtracker could be so kind to forward this 
report to the developers, i would be grateful.

The actual bugreport:
When using the graphical frontend of the Debian installer the user is 
asked for a root password and for a password of any newly created user. 
Unfortunatly these passwords are not saved, so that a login after 
installation fails.

I used the Etch netinstall snapshot from the 28th of May 2006 and 
repeated this once with the same result. I don't know what information 
could be useful for you, so i just drop in some random data.

I designated four partitions:
/ on XFS (hda6)
/home on XFS (hda5)
/boot on ext2 (hda2)
swap on swap (hda3)

I did not use DHCP but a static adress in my C-class LAN.

After two failed attempts i used the normal textmode installer and 
installation succeeded on first try.

HTH,
Björn Janßen
